The Journey Down: Chapter One

In a shady corner of Kingsport Bay, at the outskirts of St Armando, Bwana and his trusted sidekick Kito struggle to make ends meet at their run-down gas station. Little do they know that they are about to be thrown into a spine-tingling adventure that will take them far from home and right into a...

I just finished the first chapter and I've loved it, the soundtrack, the animations, the story, even the vocies. I wanted to know how many chapters will be there and if there's a "planning" on when to realese each of them (I know that chapter two is out a...

After finishing chapter one, I was reminded so well of what adventure games were back in their golden era. While I haven't started chapter two yet, I can tell you that chapter one has a LOT of great things going for it:

- The first thing you'll notice is the music. It's a great soundtrack that fits very well into the atmosphere of the narrative. - The atmosphere is absolutely enchanting. It is a good example of what an awesome "feel" for a game can be and at the same time disappointing because you don't get to experience the city itself. The characters are interesting and they also fit really well into the theme and style.- Easy interface. It's an old school point and click adventure so there is minimal hud and it just has what it needs.

-One major gripe I have is a lot of the acting. The sailors in particular are especially bad and while it serves its purpose, it's just a testament to how great everything else is and how surprisingly bad some of the acting can be. The main characters do fine, though, so it shouldn't be a deal breaker if you love good adventure games.

-The puzzles themselves are great and I they never felt too difficult. I never had to consult a walkthrough so maybe I got lucky because as much as I love the old point and click adventures, they made me feel pretty stupid after finding out how to complete an obscure puzzle. Luckily this didn't give me that feeling and even if you do need a walkthrough, you'll probably facepalm yourself wondering why you didn't think of that instead of, "How was I supposed to figure that out?!"

-I got through the game in a relatively short time and while I enjoyed every bit of it, I did wish it was a bit longer. Like, I said, the atmosphere was great so I could've spent a lot longer there but no game lasts forever.

If you're an adventure game fan, this has great atmosphere and puzzles and is worth picking up! 8/10!

Hey everybody :)
My name is mathias and I'm doing the programming and pretty much all the tech-stuff on skygoblin. Some of you may have already noticed that there's a linux version of the game available via the (beta) steam linux client. I know at least ...
